Bobby Hundreds: Cut & Sew Progression

For many streetwear labels, the transition from a T-shirt-driven product line to a more mature cut

For many streetwear labels, the transition from a T-shirt-driven product line to a more mature cut & sew offering is often a treacherous and risky path to take. Built off the back of graphic-laden T-shirts, cut & sew fashion pieces have not always been a forte of The Hundreds founder and Creative Director Bobby Hundreds. In our latest HBTV episode, we follow Bobby Hundreds through the brainstorming phase and material selection process of The Hundreds’ cut & sew offerings. The insightful short video culminates with Bobby speaking on the identity of The Hundreds and the future that he envisions for the label’s cut & sew program, given the rising costs of China-based production that have begun to drastically reshape the way many labels operate.

GZA was the guest of honor last week as he voyaged to Cambridge, Massachusetts to visit two of the worlds renowned academic institutions to engage in his first ever lecture. It began with his childhood influences of Kung Fu movies, chess, and nursery rhymes and eventually transitioning to his world views from a scientific and spiritual standpoint in which he notably stated “every being and object within the universe is connected somehow, whether visibly or invisibly….from micro to macro…the deeper one sees into life, the wider life opens itself to one.” Prior to his lecture at Harvard, he was also invited to a panel of great minds at M.I.T. to discuss quantum physics, biology, and oceanography – all of which that will play an influential role in his upcoming album. GZA’s parting message of the lecture, “Live a life full of humility, gratitude, intellectual curiosity and never stop learning.” We were in attendance for the event and were fortunate enough to pick his brain on a few topics.
